News Bluewater prepares to changes its laws surrounding manure in Hay and Stanley By Nellie Evans Special to The Huron Expositor The Municipality of Bluewater is prepared to drop a requirement of two of its wards - Hay and Stanley - that farmers own 50-60 per cent of the land they need to spread manure. A bylaw amendment showing that farmers don't need to own any land for spreading is expected to be voted on at Bluewater council's next meeting on Oct. 1. If every councillor agrees, only two municipalities in Huron County - Ashfield and Colborne - would still have a land ownership requirement. Bluewater council is reacting to the province's proposed Nutrient Management Act that requires farmers to prepare a detailed three-year plan for manure spreading, and a young local chicken farmer caught between the old and the new policy. Jamie Brand, intent on a plan to expand his broiler farm, appeared again before Bluewater council to try and reverse their previous decision to deny him a minor variance. Brand needs a minor variance to expand his chicken barn so he may eventually double his flock to 30,000 birds. He also needs permission to rent land less than five kilometres from his farm to deposit manure. Part of council's decision was based on a notion that Brand would be taking his manure through Dashwood, that, they discovered afterward, was untrue. Brand will be heading north, and never go through the village.. "I've never received a single complaint," said Brand at the Sept. 17 regular council meeting in Varna. "I have 23 signed statements from neighbors, who signed, 'I am not bothered by odors or manure left behind on Dashwood streets."' Brand told council Huron County planner Sandra Weber has said several times at recent meetings that each minor variance should be judged on its own merits, and asked the same be applied to his application. "We have no equity to buy land as young farmers so we do the next best thing," said Brand with his wife sitting beside. He also uses dry manure, not liquid, and showing an example in a jar, said dry broiler manure can be easily sold to outside markets. The Brands completed a Nutrient Management Plan in August. "Would you rather me buy 100 acres and build without a minor variance, and then sell the 100 acres and spread on 10 acres? This way is better," he said. Brand quoted statistics from various sources that the average chicken farm has 32,000 birds and there is 60 per cent more chicken grown today than 10 years ago, indicating a growing market. On Brand's behalf, Andy DeVries explained to council the general concept of the 36 - page Nutrient Management Plan. He said the number of animal units is factored with the amount of land available to a farmer for manure disposal and then divided by 20 years. The answer should be soil with balanced nutrients, he said. "The Plan is proof that the farmer is doing what he states," said DeVries, adding a Plan can also be used by a municipality to show a farmer is violating its conditions. Also at Brand's invitation, Wayne Hamilton, a local landowner, who is a director with both the Huron and Ontario federations of agriculture, said these organizations believe a Nutrient Management Plan is of greater use to a farmer than just spreading manure. These groups are also concerned that land ownership percentages are being used to regulate manure spreading. "The (Nutrient Management) Plan is the only way, not a percentage of land ownership," he said. "Would you be prepared to give council an annual report on where you place manure?" asked Bayfield Ward Coun. Joe Laudenbach. "I would okay a minor variance if you would do that." "I can't imagine a municipality would ask for that," said Brand. "Nutrient Management Plans are reviewed every three years," said DeVries. "Mr. Brand is asking tonight and we need a committment tonight and we ask you to voluntarily submit this to the municipality," said Councillor -At -Large Diane Denomme. "I have no problem with that," said Brand. "We have no one to enforce it," said Laudenbach. Administrator Janisse Zimmerman advised Brand he missed the deadline to appeal council's decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, and that he must reapply for the minor variance. She gave a second option to council: amending the manure storage bylaw regarding the existing 60 per cent land ownership requirement. "If council changes it to zero per cent, Mr. Brand doesr�t need to reapply. If it's 10 per cent or higher, he'll have to reapply," said Zimmerman. "I don't think land ownership here is as important as it used to be," said Mayor Bill Dowson. "Especially after Ontario's Nutrient Management Act is passed." Coun. Laudenbach suggested changing the bylaw to zero per cent but maintaining the number of kilometres from the source farm. Staff will prepare an amended bylaw with zero per cent land ownership for the next council meeting on Oct. 1.
